Happy Mardi Gras!!

(French: mardi=Tuesday, gras=fat). Traditionally, it is the feast before the 40 day fast of Lent in the Christian tradition. If you feel the need to give up chocolate or something, go right ahead. But I challenge you to give up something that will actually change your life. Try giving up thoughts of self-hatred, self-pity, and low self-esteem. Try giving up opinions you know very well are sexist, racist, classist, homophobic, or transphobic. See in 40 days how little you miss them and how much more you love yourself and your siblings in the human family :)
